Controller and Human Resources Manager

My fitness journey started in Laramie, Wyoming, when a high school friend of mine was dealing with mental struggles and I was able to help him overcome those through physical activity.  My love for the industry and the power of mental and physical health began here.  During this time, I started using household items and creativity; I watched my friend transform physically and mentally as well as intrigued my interest in the effects on the human movement system.  From then on, I had to learn more.  I attended the University of Wyoming where I received my undergraduate degree in Kinesiology and went on to earn my MBA.  Both degrees helped me really dig into the operational as well as the financial side of the fitness industry.  While I was at the University, I wanted to be involved much more than going to class and put my knowledge to work, overseeing all personal training and group fitness aspects around campus.  After graduation, I began my career aiding in the successful development of several franchise fitness centers where I was mainly on the operations side.

To enhance my personal and career growth, I researched new opportunities and landed on the doorstep of Orangetheory Fitness as the Controller. I knew a more administrative directive role would allow me to grow personally and in return help our growing staff and others succeed. The result has been incredibly rewarding as well as challenging.
